This presentation will delve into actionable strategies that leverage AI tools to enhance the inclusivity of public materials and drive equitable engagement.
It will begin with challenges that planners face in reaching diverse demographics effectively. It will focus on several common missteps such as the use of technical language and jargon, and the failure to provide proper context or communicate relevance to diverse communities. The presentation will then introduce AI tools to address those issues and bridge language and accessibility gaps. Practical demonstrations will illustrate how planners can utilize ChatGPT to refine their writing and generate multilingual, plain-language content, making vital information comprehensible to a broader audience.
The presentation will also provide specific examples on additional effective AI applications such as sentiment analysis techniques and adaptation of existing documents for new audiences.
Planners will leave equipped with skills to incorporate AI into their practice and improve the inclusivity and accessibility of their materials from reports and presentations to flyers and social media. By employing AI-generated tools, planners can yield more informed communities, better decision-making, and more equitable outcomes. Ultimately, this presentation will empower planners to embrace innovative AI solutions, while not ceding critical thinking to our fledgling AI overlords.
